Lana Wood (born Svetlana Zakharenko on March 1, 1946) is an American actress and producer. She was born to Russian émigré parents, Nikolai and Maria Zakharenko, and is the younger sister of actress Natalie Wood. She made her film debut in the classic John Wayne western The Searchers and was a regular on the soap opera Peyton Place. She is best known for her role as Plenty O’Toole in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. Wood was born Svetlana Nikolaevna Zakharenko to Russian parents, but they grew up far from their homeland: her father lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, while her mother grew up in a Chinese province. After her parents were married, they settled in Santa Monica, California, where Lana was born. By this time her parents had legally changed their surname to Gurdin. Her older sister was actress Natalie Wood. They have a half-sister, Olga Viriapaeff, from their mother’s previous marriage. As a baby, Lana appeared in Driftwood (1947), but her scene was deleted from the final version of the film. Lana’s first credited film role was in the 1956 western classic The Searchers (1956), which starred John Wayne and also featured Lana’s sister Natalie. Their mother Maria had picked Natalie’s stage name (her real name was Natasha) after director Sam Wood. Maria was asked under what last name Lana should be credited, and Maria agreed it would be best if she could be credited as “Wood,” like her famous sister. As a child, she also made guest appearances in Playhouse 90 (1957), The Real McCoys (1958) and appeared in the film Marjorie Morningstar (1958). Early on in her adult career, Wood usually played bit parts in films Natalie appeared in. Starting in the 1960s, her own career landed off. One of her roles was in the beach party film The Girls on the Beach (1965). After appearing in the short-lived drama series The Long, Hot Summer, she landed in the role of Sandy Webber in the soap series Peyton Place. She played the role from 1966 to 1967. In 1970, Lana was approached to pose for Playboy by Hugh Hefner and agreed. The Playboy pictures appeared in the April 1971 issue, along with Wood’s poetry. Even though her sister strongly disapproved of Wood’s move to pose nude, the publicity was a major reason for her being cast as a Bond girl, Plenty O’Toole, in the 1971 James Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever, in which, in one scene with Sean Connery, she appeared wearing only a flimsy pair of see-through panties [1]. Wood has more than 20 other films and over 300 television shows to her credit, including The Fugitive, Bonanza, Mission: Impossible, Police Story, Starsky and Hutch, Fantasy Island and Capitol. Some of her other film roles have been in the Disney film Justin Morgan Had a Horse (1972) and the western Grayeagle (1977). After appearing in the horror film Demon Rage (1982), she retired from acting, concentrating on her career as a producer. In 1984, Wood published the controversial tell-all book Natalie, A Memoir by Her Sister, shortly after the death of her sister. The book reached #3 on the New York Times Bestseller List. In 2004, she produced the biopic The Mystery of Natalie Wood. She recently returned to acting and has several projects in production.Lana is a character in the new Steve Alten book”Meg:Hell’s Aquarium” Lana has married five times. She was briefly married at age 16 to Jack Wrather Jr. before their marriage was annulled. At age 18, she was briefly wed to Karl Brent. At age 21, she was briefly wed to Steve Oliver. Lana married a fourth time to Richard Smedley in 1973. They have a daughter, Evan Taylor Maldonado, born on August 11, 1974. In her memoir, Lana claims that Smedley hit her on occasions. They later divorced, and Wood married a fifth time to Alan Balter, whom she also divorced. Wood was romantically involved with actors Warren Beatty, Ryan O’Neal and Sean Connery. Wood’s memoir includes very in-depth, vividly detailed stories of her sexual encounters and affairs. On November 29, 1981, Wood’s sister Natalie drowned near Catalina Island under suspicious circumstances. Lana has said: “The person I loved more than anybody else, with the sole exception of my own daughter, is dead. I cry for her often. I expect I always will”. Later on, their mother Maria had alzheimer’s disease moved in with Lana and her family. Maria Gurdin died on January 6, 1998. Lana wrote a book about her experience with Maria which was not published. After Lana published her tell-all memoir Natalie: A Memoir by Her Sister, her former brother-in-law Robert Wagner broke off contact with Lana and her family. Wagner later married actress Jill St. John, who was a childhood friend of Natalie’s and co-starred with Lana in Diamonds Are Forever. In the spring of 2000, the women became involved in an altercation during a cover shoot for Vanity Fair featuring the Bond Girls. Lana cooperated with author Suzanne Finstad on her biography of Natalie, Natasha, in which Finstad suggests Wagner played a part in Natalie Wood’s death. Lana currently lives in Thousand Oaks, California. She has three grandchildren: grandsons Nicholas and Max, and a granddaughter, Daphne.

Shaft’s his name. Shaft’s his game. Hotter than Bond, Cooler than Bullitt. Richard Roundtree as John Shaft, the private detective agent of NYC, from the 1971 film Shaft directed by Gordon Parks and divinely scored by Isaac Hayes. / Shaft is one of the very first blaxploitation flicks that defined the genre back in the day and its success brought up two sequels, 1972’s Shaft’s Big Score! by Gordon Parks and 1973’s Shaft in Africa by John Guillermin from which comes this killer title track by the Four Tops that gave my painting its subtitle… / Shaft returned in 2000 in John Singleton’s film in which Samuel Jackson is the nephew of the original 1970s detective. Inks and pastel. John Shaft: Are You Man Enough? is part of ZOMBIE’S BLAXPLOITATION PROJECT /

So, my new plaything I like to call it ZOMBIE’S BLAXPLOITATION PROJECT and I will be running it here on RB with a bunch of sketches and paintings that pay tribute to some of these lame blaxploitation flicks that I love so much… Some of these movies I have watched and watched all over again and they definitely have a special place among my favourites in cinema. / I know blaxploitation was never really popular enough so I wouldn’t expect much feedback on these but anyway I’m doing it because I’m diggin’ it ...! There’s only three of them up at the moment but hopefully I’ll have some more soon, there’s plenty of ideas in the plans, if only I could find enough time to create… Truth is that there are not many African oriented people where I come from and I haven’t been enough exposed to this culture personally to learn a lot about it, so these films and their music have always been my closest experience to the Black culture and its ways… I recently watched Black Dynamite, a 2009 comedy done in the style of the mid 70s black action films and I enjoyed it a lot, in fact I found it brilliant though I knoe the majority of the rest of you out there will consider it silly and lame… Watch out for it! See you all real soon suckas ...
